Rachel Courtland

I’m a journalist, editor, and occasional panel moderator based in New York City. I currently work at Nature as a locum editor of physical sciences features. If you’re a freelance reporter and have a feature idea, you can drop me a line at rachel.courtland /-at-/ us.nature.com

Before joining Nature in 2017, I spent six years as an editor at the technology magazine IEEE Spectrum, where I thought long and hard about the future of transistors — the tiny switches that drive our computers, smartphones, and myriad other electronics. While there, I led two special reports: one on Moore’s Law and the other on brain-inspired computing.

For non-Nature business, I can be found at rcourtland /-at-/ nasw.org. If your timing is just right, you may catch me tweeting, as @rcourt. I’ve included more information on my background on LinkedIn, here.
